Beschreibung
Therefore do not worry, saying, What will we eat? or What will we drink? or What will we wear? How do the poorest people on earth understand these words of Jesus? To whom were they first addressed? If the poor widow had to give to the temple treasury all she had for living, how did she survive the next days and weeks? Jesus of Nazareth was poor and homeless, living in a land occupied by military force. To understand his message one has to listen to the poor. Dr. Häkkinen has discussed Jesuss words in Africa and in the Palestinian territories known as West Bank. The report offers fresh views to familiar texts and raises new questions.
